Copper-to-Aluminum Busbars for New Energy Systems

Copper-to-aluminum is a new type of conductor material that combines the excellent conductivity and stability of copper with the cost-effectiveness and energy efficiency of aluminum, while maintaining low contact resistance. CCA busbar is widely used in automation, metallurgy, high and low voltage electrical equipment, as well as the construction and metallurgical industries.

Product Description:

The development of copper-aluminum composite busbars aims to address the inherent conductivity weaknesses of aluminum busbars. Aluminum is a softer material with faster creep rates, leading to loosening over time. Additionally, prolonged use increases surface contact resistance, resulting in electrical degradation and potential loss of conductivity. 

Copper-aluminum busbars ensure safety, reliability, and longevity while significantly reducing costs. Testing shows a fundamental difference in electrical performance compared to aluminum busbars, offering much longer service life and higher reliability, with safety on par with copper busbars. Furthermore, copper-aluminum busbars are lighter, easier to install, and experience less bending stress from their own weight, making them a highly cost-effective solution.


Cu-Al Bimetallic Bus Bar Advantages:

  • Produced by innovative patent technology——Solid-Liquid machining processing technique to bond copper and aluminum permanently and firmly;

  • With higher electric conductivity: Can reach more than 98% of the same volume conductivity of pure copper;

  • Lighter than pure copper: About 1/3 weight of the same volume of pure copper;
  • Lower cost than pure copper;
  • 90 degree bend do not wrinkle, stamping no cracking, easy processing;
  • Meet all thickness between 0.20mm to 15mm in ratio of 20Cu:80Al by thickness for Cu-Al Bimetal;
  • Unlimited for length and area.
